BrahMos to Target Development of Hypersonic Cruise Missile

With many countries ‘expected join race and compete with the Brahmos supersonic missile, India has to definitely go for newer and innovative technology – the hypersonic missile’, Dr Shivathanu Pillai, Managing Director of Bhramos said today.

‘As such the Brahmos missile, a joint venture of India and Russia, is the best available in the market and other countries are trying to come out with better products’, Pillai told reporters here.

If any country succeeded to compete with Brahmos, the missile would lose its importance. To counter it, India has to produce a highly innovative product (hypersonic missile) in another five years or sooner, he said.
